Time tracking

Time tracking lets your workspace record time against cards, review personal weekly timesheets, and report on work by member, space, category, week, task, and billable status. Time tracking is enabled per space. Once it is turned on for a space, cards in that space show a Time tracking section where members can start a timer or log time manually.

​

Turn on time tracking for a space

Workspace owners, admins, and the creator of a space can turn time tracking on or off for that space.

1. Open Settings > Spaces.
2. Select the space.
3. Open Time tracking.
4. Turn on Turn on time tracking for this space.

When time tracking is off for a space, cards in that space do not show the time tracking controls.

​

Track time on a card

Open a card in a space where time tracking is enabled, then use the Time tracking section in the card sidebar. You can:

• Start timer to begin tracking work immediately.
• Stop timer to create a time entry from the running timer.
• Log time to add a manual entry with a duration, date, description, and billable flag.
• Sort entries by newest or oldest first.
• Filter the entry list to billable entries.
• Edit or delete your own entries.

Time entries created from a card belong to that card. Parent cards can show both direct time logged on that card and rolled-up time that includes child cards.

​

Timers and idle time

Each member can have one active timer in a workspace. The running timer is visible from time tracking surfaces so you can stop it without reopening the original card. If Superthread detects no activity while a timer is running, it asks whether you are still working. You can:

• Keep tracking.
• Discard the idle time.
• Log the idle time as a separate entry.

​

Billable time and rates

Each time entry can be marked as billable or non-billable. Workspace owners and admins can configure billing defaults from Settings > Workspace > Time tracking. Workspace settings include:

• Default rate - the fallback hourly billing rate for new entries.
• Billable by default - whether new entries start as billable.
• Per-member rate overrides - custom hourly rates for specific members.
• Privacy - who can see time data across the workspace.
• Lock entries before a date - prevent older entries from being edited or deleted.

Billing rates are snapshotted when a time entry is created. Changing a workspace or member rate affects new entries, not the saved rate on existing entries.

​

Categories

The time tracking API also supports workspace-level time categories for grouping work, such as development, design, meetings, or support. Categories can have their own billable default and display color. Archived categories stop appearing as active options, but existing entries that reference them are preserved.

​

Timesheet

Open My timesheet from the sidebar to see your own tracked time for a week. The timesheet shows:

• One row per card or scope you logged time against.
• One column per day of the selected week.
• Totals by row, day, and week.
• The currently running timer, if you have one.

You can move between weeks, jump back to the current week, stop an active timer, edit cells inline, and export the visible week as a CSV. When editing a timesheet cell:

• Enter a duration like 1h 30m, 1:30, 45m, or 1.5.
• Clearing a cell removes the latest entry for that cell.
• Updating a cell adjusts the latest entry for that day while preserving other entries already logged on the same day.

​

Time report

Open Time report from the workspace section of the sidebar to review tracked time across the workspace. By default, the report uses a rolling 30-day range. You can change the date range and add filters for:

• Member
• Space
• Board
• Billable only

The report can show breakdowns for:

• Hours by member
• Hours by space
• Hours by category
• Hours by week
• Hours by task
• Billable hours

Use Export as CSV to download one row per time entry for invoicing or further analysis.

API support

Superthread’s public API includes endpoints for time entries, timers, categories, workspace rate settings, per-space enablement, rate overrides, locks, audit logs, and time reports. See the Time tracking API reference for the full endpoint list.
